At Uncyclopedia, writing articles is not a requirement, but it certainly is a fun and easy way to express your creativity. To write an article, it's recommended that you start it in your userspace (for example, User:Jamescragg/Article about stuff) so you can edit it at your leisure. If you decide to create it in the cold world of mainspace, make sure it is in accordance with the policies laid out above, and if you're not done put the "Work-In-Progress" template - {{construction}} - onto it as well.
If the current colonization doesn't suit your fancy, then browse our rewrite and idea categories. We have lots of articles just sitting around for someone to improve, so don't be afraid - dive right in!
If you need help, ask me on my talk page, ask at the Dump, or ask an administrator on their talk page. Additionally, the Uncyclopedian Adopt-a-Noob program is there to bring experienced editors straight to you. Simply leave a message on an adopter's talkpage to join. Again, welcome! -- -- The Zombiebaron 19:55, December 28, 2010 (UTC)
Article on Travis Barker[edit source]
Thought I'd give you a couple tips on how to make sure your article doesn't end up deleted.
For one, there are several templates you ought to be using.
There's a quote template:[edit source]
{{Q|This is a quote|Speaker|subject}}
Which'll be rendered as such:
“This is a quote”
And a side note about quotes: A huge line of quotes generally isn't a good way to start off the article.
And the "about" template[edit source]
From wikipedia, which we do not have here, but can be manually added:
:''This page is about the part man part werewolf/skunk emo bugle player. For the type of bread common in southern regions of Italy see Travis Baker. ''
Which'll be rendered as such:
- This page is about the part man part werewolf/skunk emo bugle player. For the type of bread common in southern regions of Italy see Travis Baker.
Other[edit source]
You should also always be sure that links from your article go to pages that exist. People don't like red links. Additionally, pages should generally be divided up into sections of relevent information, and people like to have pictures relevent to the article. You can probably spork some information/pictures to use off of Wikipedia's article about Travis Barker.
